The Mother’s Day Legacy:
Celebrating Honor and Tradition

El Monte

by Jo Anne Disney

Mother’s Day is one of the
most celebrated holidays of
the year. Children and adults
of all ages honor their mothers on this day.
History tells us that in
1872 Julia Ward Howe, a
poet and writer who lived
in Boston, Massachusetts,
made the first suggestion to
celebrate Mother’s Day in
the United States. She suggested that “people observe a
Mother’s Day on June 2nd as
a day dedicated to peace.”
Then, a Kentucky schoolteacher named Mary Towles
Sasseen started conducting
Mother’s Day celebrations
in 1887. Frank E. Hering of
South Bend, Indiana started

a campaign for celebrating
Mother’s Day in 1904.
However, “the woman who
started the Mother’s Day
holiday we celebrate now
was Anna M. Jarvis. She was
born in a small town called
Grafton, Virginia. Jarvis
founded Mother’s Day in
honor of her own mother,
Anna Reeves Jarvis, who
died on the second Sunday
in May, 1905.” She also
started the tradition of wearing a carnation. Today, it
is customary to wear a red
flower if your mother is living and a white flower if she
is deceased.
After an extensive letter
writing campaign, (Anna
wrote over 10,000 letters
according to W.W. Gore),
and gaining the support of
religious as well as newspaper and government leaders,
President Woodrow Wilson
announced that Congress
had voted to
make Mother’s
Day a national

holiday. The date was May 8,
1914 and Wilson said, “Everyone everywhere should
honor the mothers of our
country.” Mother’s Day has
been on the second Sunday
in May ever since then.
Moreover, in 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
an ardent stamp collector,
chose James Abbot McNeill
Whistler’s famous painting
known as “Whistler’s Mother” to be on a stamp that
year. And, the words found
on the stamp, “In Memory
and Honor of the Mothers
of America,” pays tribute to
mothers everywhere.
In our own neighborhood,
we honor on this Mother’s
Day Jeanne Courtice. She
was born in New York and
moved to California and
attended UC Santa Barbara.
She and her husband Stu
have been married for 56
years. They have lived in

Temple City since 1961.
They have two children
Steve and Debbie and 4
grandchildren: Jennifer,
Stephanie, Kevin and Lizzie.
Jeanne worked for the
Alhambra School District
for 15 years. According to
Jeanne, Mother’s Day is “an
occasion to celebrate a most
important job and getting
together with family.” Jeanne
is very proud of her children
and her grandchildren and all
of their accomplishments.
Another local mom we
honor on this Mother’s
Day is Jan White. Jan was
born at Garfield Hospital in
Alhambra and has lived in
El Monte since 1948. She
remembers her first job was
at the El Monte Hardware
Store at the age of 13. Then a
few years later she got a job
at the JCP’s in El Monte at
the Valley Mall. She graduated from Nativity School

Vons Credit Union announced that its El Monte
Corporate Office is the
recipient of the “Battle of the
Buildings” competition sponsored by the EPA’s Energy
Star National Building Competition. The competition
featured over 3,000 teams
from across the country.
Vons Credit Union reduced
its energy use by 26.7%
and deterred 23 metric tons
of greenhouse gas emissions over the previous year.

“EPA’s Energy Star National
Building Competition helped
us save energy, cut our utility
bills, and protect the climate,” said Steve Weakley,
CEO of Vons Credit Union.
“We are excited by the enthusiasm and commitment of
our team here at Vons Credit
Union and look forward to
seeing more saving in the
future from our efforts.”
Adding to Vons’ commitment to the community
and environment, in July

of 2012, Vons was awarded
the Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design
(LEED) Gold certification
by the U.S. Green Building
Council. LEED is a leading
rating system for designing
and constructing the world’s
greenest, most energy efficient and high-performing
building, and verifies environmental performance,
occupant health and financial
return.

TOWN

Mother’s day is fast approaching and I have a
present to give to my mother
figure. That person is my
grandmother, since she is the
only woman I have received
love and compassion from.
My grandmother raised me
with the love she was never
able to give to her kids; she
was always working. Maybe
that is why she spoils me so
much; it’s a way of showing

her love for all her children.
Anyway, my mother began
leaving me with my grandmother at nine days old. My
mother came back from time
to time, but she usually just
left me in my grandmother’s
care. I don't remember much,
but what I do remember is
my grandmother always being there for me.
So maybe this Mother’s
Day you won't be giving

something special to your
birth mother, but the real
mothers in your life, the ones
which raise you with the
same love they would give
to their own children. My
life would have been so very
different without my grandmother; I probably wouldn't
even be alive if it wasn't for
her, so “Gracias Nana por
todo.”

CASANA Celebrates The
First Ever Apraxia Awareness
Day on May 14TH
PITTSBURGH, PA (April 23, 2013) – On
May 14, 2013, the Childhood Apraxia of Speech
Association of North America (CASANA) invites communities worldwide to become aware
and educated about the needs, challenges, and
abilities of children affected by apraxia. Apraxia
is among the most severe speech and communication problems in children. Affected children
have difficulty planning and producing the precise, highly refined and specific series of movements of the tongue, lips, jaw, and palate that are
necessary to produce clear, intelligible speech.

" Guam To Saigon:
Ghosts of War
(Part 5)"

• Dwain C. Crum •

Continuing Saga …. I’m
not sure how long it takes to
figure out someone’s residency but the San Gabriel
City Council is setting a new
record. Three days worth of
hearings took place in council chambers to determine if
Chin Ho Liao’s residence is
within the city limits or not.
The hearings have brought
out growing concerns and
frustrations with the legal
process and council ineffectiveness. A group calling
itself the ‘Coalition to Save
San Gabriel’ is circulating a petition to place Chin
Ho on the city council. Los
Angeles area newspapers
like the Los Angeles Times
and Pasadena Star News,
along with Asian Television stations, are covering
the historical proceeding.
Claims of civil rights violation and race discrimination
have been voiced by angry
and confused residents. The
council chambers have been
turned into a pseudo courtroom with council members
acting as the judge and jury.
According to the San Gabriel
city website, the council will
discuss the record and issue
a ruling on the matter at a
special meeting on Monday
May 6th. I’ll be out of town
and out of state that day, but
don’t be surprised if council
decides to allow Chin Ho to
take his elected seat. I could
be wrong, it wouldn’t be the
first time, but I think that
council members will come
to their senses and in order
to avoid any further embarrassment as well as possible
lawsuits, will seat Chin Ho
with only a slap on the wrist.
This entire process could
have been avoided if only
the City and City Council
performed its own due diligence prior to the March 5th
elections. In the 100th anniversary year of incorporation
of the city, city residents are
witnessing something that
has never happened before
in their town or any other
town in California for that
matter. By challenging the
election results of the people
you represent is an insult to
the electoral process and our
U.S. Constitution. Makes
you wonder why we even
bother to vote if we end up
with the council members
we have today. …. A Private
Press Conference?..... On

Friday May 3rd, the ‘Coalition to Save San Gabriel’
held a news conference at the
Mission 261 Restaurant in
San Gabriel. The Coalition
invited state local officials
and other supporters of Chin
Ho Liao to persuade council
members to vote to seat Chin
Ho. But the press conference
also had its own controversy
and asked those who did not
support Chin Ho to leave the
restaurant. Also, the Chief of
the Kizh-Gabrieleno Band
of Mission Indians was
asked to leave the conference. Representatives of the
tribe had been invited to the
press conference to introduce
themselves to the attendees
of the conference but were
identified as non-Liao supporters and were asked to
leave. Whatever is happening
in San Gabriel is not good.
In my opinion, the City,
City Clerk and City Council
members did not do its own
due diligence and investigated Liao before the election. Then Chin Ho was not
allowed to take his elected
seat. I believe he should
have been allowed to take
his seat and afterwards an
investigation held to determine his residency. Instead
the San Gabriel City Council
made a mistake to handle the
situation itself as they were
involved in the mishandling
of the situation from the
beginning. Watch for more
controversy in the future….

Dwain Crum “The Sea Rebel”, was born in Pasadena, CA and a
lifelong resident of Rosemead, CA. Retired after 29 years as a

lifelong dream of traveling around the world.

Following my visit to
Korea the Pacific Princess
sailed to two ports in China,
but I will talk about that in
my next article. For now,
I would like to finish the
Ghost of War series by talking about my visit to Vietnam.
World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War
- America became heavily
focused on the Pacific during
the 20th century. My ship
was making two stops in
Vietnam. The first stop was
at Cai Lan, gateway to Halong Bay. The second port
was Phu My, gateway to Ho
Chi Minh City.
Vietnam is a communist
country today. Whereas
World War II was a great
victory in both Europe and
the Pacific for the U.S. and

the Korean War can only be
looked on as a stalemate by
the most pessimist among
us - the Vietnam War was a
defeat.
When I was growing up
in the San Gabriel Valley,
the Vietnam War was going
on. When I was at Encinita
Elementary it was going
on. When I was a student at
Muscatel Middle School it
was going on. When I was
a student at Rosemead High
School it was still going on.
Even today, taking about it
stirs up passions about what
we should or should not have
done during that war. World
War II does not stir up those
same emotions, nor does the
Korean War. The reason
- Vietnam is a communist
country today.
Vietnam is slowly chang-

ing.
Since
the mid 1990's Vietnam has
sort of followed China's lead
on how to be a communist
nation yet pursue a capitalist
economy. A boat ride in Halong Bay is one of the most
beautiful in the world and is
recognized by UNESCO. It
was interesting to note that
in Cai Lan the pier was in
reality a rusted old ferry and
not a modern pier. At Ho
Chi Minh City (the former
Saigon) things seemed much
more similar to the other
counties that I visited till I
noticed something. I was
told there is not one McDonalds in all of Vietnam - not
one.
In Ho Chi Minh City I
went to see the Presidential
Palace. Today, the Vietnamese consider the spot where

and El Monte High. She
has three children: Karen,
Penni, and Greg; four grandchildren: Jessica, Steven,
Tabatha, and Erin and four
great-grandchildren: Jaelyn,
Emma, Lavelle, and Taylor.
According to Jan, Mother’s
Day is a time to “reflect on
my mom, grandmas and all
my ancestors. I wish the
family unit could be like it
used to be.” Jan retired from
Cal-State, Los Angeles after
many years of service and
now enjoys traveling and
visiting her many long-time
friends.
Another local mom we
honor on this Mother’s Day
is Linda Miller. Linda was
born in Los Angles and lived
in Whittier and El Monte.
She married her high school
sweetheart, Donald Miller
and they have been married
for 45 years. They moved to
Temple City in 1973. They
have two sons, Don and
Dave and six grandsons:

Andrew, Nick, Thomas,
Brian, Ryan, and Hayden.
Linda was a stay-at-home
mom who volunteered and
worked for the PTA and her
church. According to Linda,
Mother’s Day is a time “for
mothers to be grateful for
their children, family, and
grandchildren. She shared
that her sons still love to
vacation as a family and she
loves how close they all are.
In Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary, there
are many descriptive adjectives for the word “mother,”
among them to show tenderness and affection as well as
to care for and to protect. I
think these words are exactly
what mothers do. What better way to celebrate Mother’s
Day than to honor all of the
special mothers in your life.
So to all mothers, HAPPY
MOTHER’S DAY!

LOVING MOTHER
A loving mother is God's special creative treasure;
And the love we have for her we cannot measure.
A mother is a person who loves you from inside out;
That's what I believe that true love is all about.

Honor your mother with all the love in your heart;
For in your life she will always be an important part.
Without a mother where would we have been?
It's great if you realize she is truly your best friend.
If you think it's your mother making you feel blue;
Often, it's not her, it's something wrong with you.
For she is the one person that you can always trust;
Over all of her children she will make a big fuss.
Mothers can make our life really worthwhile;
Just with a kiss, a touch or a great big smile.
She'll keep the family together by being so strong;
Love you when your right and even when your wrong.
Many times she won't like some of the things you do;
You can be assured that she'll never stop loving you.
Remember, God gave her a lot of wisdom and insight;
So hang on to your mother with all your might.

by Eugene R. Webb

Whether your mother is here, passed on or miles apart;
I know just thinking of her will warm your heart.
Keep in mind a mother does make life worth living;
When you think of all the joys she's been giving.

Arroyo and Rosemead Toss it Around

FANVIEW
By Joe Torosian

“Wish upon, wish upon, day upon
day, I believe oh lord
I believe all the way!”---David Bowie

Ask me what I think politically,
and I’m ready to go.
Ask me what I think about theological and spiritual matters, and
I’ve got it down.
Ask me what I want for dinner,
and I’m down with the get down.
Ask me about the Los Angeles
Rams, and I’ll tell you I love
them.
Ask me about the Los Angeles
Lakers, and I’ll tell you I could
care less.
Ask me about the Los Angeles
Dodgers, and I’ll tell you I hate
their bench.
Ask me about the Los Angeles
Kings, and I’ll tell you I love the
playoffs.
Ask me about Dick Enberg, and
I’ll tell you he’s underrated.
Ask me about Vin Scully, and I
can’t say enough.
Ask me about the East-West Hall
of Fame game scheduled for
May 17th...
Yeah...I don’t know.
I don’t know if there’s been a
local sporting event I’ve been all
over the yard about like this one.
Back in the day I used to ignore
this game because I hated
exhibition football. When we
started covering it I was more
than happy to send Duane “Bad
News” Barker to it with his camera while I did the Little League
playoffs.
Then I got dragged to a game.
Saw La Canada’s La Velle Peterson dominate a first half. I believe a year later I saw South El
Monte’s Tommy Cogburn torch
some Charter Oak defensive
backs who insisted on covering
him in single coverage.
Good stuff.
Still, it was exhibition football.
To me football is football, great
to watch, great to be around, but
it has to count for something. If
guys are going to start knocking
heads, it has to mean something.
On my way to the game one year
I got a call that someone was in
the emergency room so I didn’t
see it. I thought I would miss
seeing the game, but I didn’t.
I understand why coaches and
schools offering scholarships
don’t want their recruits to play
in an all star game.
But then you see the guy that
hasn’t been recruited playing you
are happy for him.
So, exhibition or not, the game is
great because it puts smiles on a
lot of faces.
I liked it in June, would love it in
February, thought it was great to
move it to May, but now I don’t
know.
No one should miss their prom
for this game, but if you want to
play in it you should.
I’m glad its not a nuclear issue,
I’m glad its not the fate of the
world, I’m glad its only football.
But I will forever be conflicted.

Arroyo and Rosemead
renewed old acquaintances
Saturday at B.L. Bergstrom
Stadium. The Panthers and
the Knights
have been
butting heads
for decades
in what is the
best rivalry in
the Mission
Valley League
but this wasn’t
quite as intense
as a Friday
night clash in
October.
Instead it
was just a
chance to
throw the ball
around a little
bit on a sunny Saturday in
May.
Arroyo is coming off a third

place finish in the MVL but did
advance to the second round
of the playoffs after a big win
over Bell Gardens. Rosemead

is looking to improve on a year
in which it missed the playoffs
and went 4-6 overall.

Andrew Policky Returns
to Arcadia High School
by Joe Torosian

Apaches hire alum Andrew Policky as new head
football coach.
Policky played for Arcadia in the late 1990’s
and served as an assistant
on Jon Dimalante’s staff
from 2005-2007. The last

two seasons he’s been the
head coach at Hoover High
School in Glendale.
“He’s an Apache alumni
and he coached with us
from 2005-’07,” said Arcadia assistant Eric Elias.
”He’s a Jon Dimalante guy,
like me. He’s
a great fit for
us. I’m excited
about the direction of the
program.”
Policky
takes over for
Chris Long
who stepped
down earlier
this year after
one season at
the helm.
Irony, Long
also came
from Hoover
to lead Arcadia in 2012.

The Peterson Principal
By Tim Peterson

It's tough being a sports fan
in Southern California these
days. The Lakers and the Clippers finished off disappointing seasons by being bounced
in the first round. Both Mike
D'Antoni and Vinny Del Negro
are in danger of losing their
jobs.
UCLA fired Ben Howland
after a first round exit and
is starting over with Steve
Alford. USC dismissed Kevin
O'Neill and brought in Andy
Enfield to try to right the ship.
You like baseball? Ok great.
The Dodgers dropped to 13-16
after dropping consecutive
walk off losses to the hated
Giants and have a team that resembles a M*A*S*H unit. The
Angels? Well, they're worse.
They fell to 11-20 with another
loss Sunday to the Orioles.
How long do you think Don

Mattingly and Mike Scioscia
will be around if the losing
trend continues? With payrolls
that make the Yankees look
broke both of them could end
up standing next to Howland
and O'Neill in the unemployment line if things don't get
better soon.
The football team at USC
may have been the most disappointing of all. Lane Kiffin's
team finished 7-6 after an
embarrassing loss in the Sun
Bowl and reportedly there
was a brawl that broke out
in the locker room following
the game. SC has consistently
had some of the highest rated
recruiting classes in the nation
despite being on NCAA probation but those classes didn't
translate to victories in 2012.
Another season like that and
Kiffin will be shown the door.

Matt Barkley was a victim
of the poor showing falling all
the way to the fourth round of
the NFL draft before he was
selected.
UCLA was better although
the Bruins did get hammered
in the Holiday Bowl and lost
their last three games. Jim
Mora however is still the safest
coach in So Cal.
Well, unless you consider
hockey. Unfortunately not
many people do. The Kings
provided more excitement
than any local team lately by
winning the Stanley Cup last
season, although they are currently down to the St. Louis
Blues 2-1 in the first round of
the playoffs. The Ducks are
contenders as well and are up
2-1 in their series.
But take those few brief
hockey moments out of the
equation and its been a rough
go.
Is there a light at the end
of the tunnel? Well, the good
thing is in sports things can
turn around in a hurry. If the
Lakers re-sign Dwight Howard, Kobe Bryant returns
healthy as well as Steve Nash
and D'Antoni has a full season
to work with the Lakers could
return to prominence. If the
Clippers re-sign Chris Paul and
Blake Griffin takes the next
step they will be right back in
contention.
UCLA and USC are banking
on fresh new starts to ignite
their programs, and you have
to admit, what Enfield did at
Florida Gulf Coast was pretty
exciting.
It's hard to imagine USC
football having as bad of a
season as it did last year. The
Trojans have to get better don't
they? It stands to reason that
the only way they can go is up.
UCLA with Mora and Brett
Hundley at quarterback should
only get better.
It's only May and with guys
on the Dodger roster like Matt
Kemp, Adrian Gonzalez, Carl
Crawford and Andre Ethier, the
offense will come around. The
ownership group has already
shown it will spend whatever it takes to win so I'm sure
another pitcher could be on the
way before the trading deadline. Josh Hamilton will start
hitting eventually and I can't
imagine the Angels pitching
staying this bad. And of course
the Kings and Ducks are ok.
So take heart. Hope is on the
horizon and soon your favorite
Southland team will rise from
the ashes and taste the fruits of
victory. If not we can always
count on our professional
football team to pick us up. Oh
wait, never mind.
That's my principle.

Do You Know Who
This Guy Is?
On this date in 1973 only
4,777 people came out to see
the San Francisco Giants host
the St. Louis Cardinals at
Candlestick Park.
The Giants were 22-9, the
Cardinals were 5-19. In the
eighth inning San Francsico
catcher Dave Rader was lifted
for a pinch hitter. That hitter
was Chris
Arnold, Arcadia class
of ’65.
Arnold
walked and
later scored
when Bobby
Bonds
singled to
left field as
the Giants
took a 9-7
victory.
Not
profound
until you
see who was
playing in
this game. The Cardinals had
Hall of Famers Bob Gibson
and Lou Brock on the field.
The Giants line up featured
not only Bonds (homered),
but Dave Kingman (homered),

Gary Matthews, Tito Fuentes,
and Hall of Famer Willie McCovey (homer/triple).
Arnold an 11th round draft
pick of the Giants in June
draft of 1965 played parts of
six seasons (1971-1976) with
the Giants and then went on to
play three years in Japan.
Used largely as a utility
infielder/
pinch
hitter, Arnold batted .237
with four
home
runs and
51 runs
batted
in during his
career.
Two of
his four
home
runs
came off
Hall of
Famers Phil Niekro and Steve
Carlton.
Arnold now lives in Denver,
Colorado where he runs a succesful sports agency.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you
are considering bidding on this property
lien, you should understand that there are
risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on
the property itself. Placing the highest bid
at a trustee auction does not automatically
entitle you to free and clear ownership of
the property. You should also be aware
that the lien being auctioned off may be a
junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at
the auction, you are or may be responsible
for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive
clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority,
and size of outstanding liens that may exist
on this property by contacting the county
recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee
for this information. If you consult either of
these resources, you should be aware that
the same lender may hold more than one
mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The
sale date shown on this notice of sale may
be postponed one or more times by the
mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court,
pursuant to section 2924g of the California
Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be
made available to you and to the public, as
a courtesy to those not present at the sale.
If you wish to learn whether your sale date
has been postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call (619)590-1221
or visit the internet website www.rppsales.
com, using the file number assigned to this
case 1340686-31. Information about postponements that are very short in duration
or that occur close in time to the scheduled
sale may not immediately be reflected in
the telephone information or on the Internet
Web Site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled
sale. For sales information:(619)590-1221.

Sea Rebel continued from page 6

a communist tank broke the
wall there to have been the
moment of end of the war. I
had my picture taken there at
that spot. Not as a communist victory - but as the place
the Vietnam War ended.
During the 1970's, I registered for the draft but fortunately for me the draft ended
before my name had been
called. My mom always said
that there were two people
that I had to thank because
their actions ended that war
for the United States and
saved me for having to serve
in Vietnam. Two very dissimilar figures except that
they were both controversial,
both then and now - Muhammad Ali and Richard Nixon.
Ali because he protested the
war when he didn't have to
and Nixon because he pulled
us out of a war which his
predecessors would not. If
not for them I could very
easily have found myself in
Vietnam many years earlier
and in a very different situation.
During one of the tours in
Vietnam my guide talked to
us about the war and how he
had had uncles fight on both
sides and that he had lost
relatives that he never saw
again. He separated himself
from the group momentarily
but I followed him and saw
why he had left - he was
crying and he didn't want
anyone to see. Peace is better than war.
